This was very easy to make and delish too! I added some guyere cheese and broiled it as well...I haven't been feeling well and thought some soup would do the trick...this was perfect...I will use this again...thanks for posting. Made and reviewed for Zaar Chow Hounds...ZWT 5.

We love onion soup and I usually have a supply in the freezer but there was none left. Your recipe came in very handy; so fast and easy to prepare. I did add some Gruyère cheese and put it under the broiler. Thank you. I made this for ZWT5. Rita

DH loved it as well as I. Kids not so much as they are not onion fans (I will not let that effect my rating). I used both sweet and cooking onions. I will need to double recipe next time. (Made and reviewed for NZ/AUZ recipe Swap #21, Oct.2008)
